Women Now Hold 30% of Private Wealth Globally; 44% of that is self-made!

A Forbes article cited this eye-opening statistic from The Boston Consulting Group’s June 15 report on Global Wealth: women now hold 30% of private wealth in the world, with the bulk of it (44%) coming from those who made it themselves, as either entrepreneurs or company employees who had built their prosperity.
If women’s worldwide wealth from all sources is added up, at $39.6 trillion, it just slightly exceeds the combined private wealth holdings of the entire Asia-Pacific region: $37 trillion.
